Cooking Instructions and Tips

1

a) Boil a full kettle. Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) In a medium bowl, combine the red wine vinegar and sugar for the pickle (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper

c) Add a third of the sliced onion. Mix and set aside.

2

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a deep saucepan (with a tight-fitting lid) on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the remaining onion to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins.

c) Add the garlic and half the chermoula and fry for 1 min more.

d) Stir in the couscous until coated, 30 secs. Stir in the veg stock paste and water for the couscous see pantry for amount and bring to the boil.

e) When boiling, remove from the heat, stir in the couscous and pop a lid on the pan. Leave to the side for 8-10 mins or until ready to serve.

3

a) Meanwhile, trim the courgette and halve it lengthways. Chop widthways into 1cm slices.

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. When hot, add the diced chicken and courgette and cook, 8-10 mins total. Turn only every couple of mins. Sprinkle over the chermoula spice mix. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.

c) Once cooked, season with salt and pepper, then remove to a bowl and wipe out the pan.

4

a) While the halloumi fries, halve the baby plum tomatoes

b) Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

6

a) Fluff up the couscous with a fork and stir through the tomatoes and remaining coriander. Share between bowls.

b) Top with your courgette and chicken.

c) Drizzle over the coriander yoghurt and pineapple chutney. Scatter over the pickled onion.
